As the stigma around cannabis steadily fades, more and more professional athletes are opening up about its use cases, specifically as a natural remedy for pain management. Some of these athletes became cannabis entrepreneurs themselves.
Among them is former National Football League (NFL) running back Ricky Williams, who was a top draft pick after winning the Heisman Trophy back in 1988. In 2004, he left his career as a professional football player because he violated the league’s substance-abuse policy (testing positive for cannabis several times). Williams tried returning the next year and ended up missing the 2006 season over the repeating issue.
